If you want a happy life, you can learn a lot from legendary entertainer Tony Bennett.

Tony Bennett turned 90 this week, and by many accounts, he’s living a happy life. Just this week, at a celebration for this birthday, he told reporters “I love life so much.” He’s said as much in the past, as well: In 2014, for example, he told Esquire: “I’ve been so fortunate.”

Looking back at his life and career, there are plenty of cues as to what makes Bennett so happy -- and it’s not that he’s a celebrity (though, of course, public adoration doesn’t hurt). It’s that he lives his life in ways that researchers, psychologists and others agree help boost happiness.

Here are four lessons for a better life from Tony Bennett.

Find hobbies you enjoy

“I paint every day … I live right next to Central Park. And I love to paint in Central Park all the time. I love doing that as much as I love to sing,” Bennett told reporters this week. He’s onto something, experts say. Many people feel like they don’t have a purpose later in life -- which makes them unhappy -- and that finding that enjoyable hobby or activity can mean a better quality of life,says Julia Cameron, the author of “It’s Never Too Late to Begin Again: Discovering Creativity and Meaning in Midlife and Beyond.” Not sure what hobby you might like? Cameron counsels older people to write down their thoughts and feelings in a journal each morning and from there look for clues as to the types of activities they might like doing and might give life more purpose.

Live a healthy lifestyle

“I have to pace myself. I’m 90, but I’m in top shape,” says Bennett, who works out with a trainer three times per week. That’s important because your health often predicts your happiness in retirement. “Those in better health are more likely to enjoy retirement and feel fulfilled, have new experiences and opportunities in retirement, and are less likely to experience several negative retirement outcomes,” according to a survey of 905 retirees in 2015 by insurance company Mass Mutual. Good health was even more important than income and assets in predicting well-being in retirement, the survey found.

Original Winnie the Pooh makes comeback

The almost century-old Winnie the Pooh teddy bear has been refurbished and put back on display at the New York Public Library. Writer A.A. Milne based his world-famous children's books on his son's favorite soft toys in the 1920's.

Choose to work into your 70s and 80s

He may be 90, but Bennett is still hard at work — and planning to stay that way by working on another album with pop star Lady Gaga: “She and I are talking about doing a second album,” Bennett told Billboard. “She’s busy right now, but at the beginning of next year we’ll start doing an album.” That may be keeping that famous smile on Bennett’s face: People who are working — by choice, not because they need the money — after age 65 are happier than those who aren’t, according to a study published in 2014 by Brookings Institute fellow Carol Graham and and University of Maryland public-policy scholar Milena Nikolova. This may be because, roughly seven in 10 people 50 and older say they want to work in retirement, as a 2014 Merrill Lynch survey of more than 7,000 people revealed.

You don’t have to be as rich as Bennett to enjoy your later years, but it’s important to have enough to do the things you want to. When financial planner Wes Moss surveyed 1,400 retirees for his book “You Can Retire Sooner Than You Think: The 5 Money Secrets of the Happiest Retirees,” he found that the happiest retirees had the highest net worth, but that money’s ability to increase your happiness diminished after $550,000. In other words, money can buy happiness for older Americans, but only up to a point.
